Ingredients
  

For the Mushrooms & Green Beans

  • 4 –5 king trumpet mushrooms sliced lengthwise
  • 1 lb fresh green beans trimmed
  • 2 –3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt plus more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

For the Lemon-Garlic Hummus

  • 1 can 15 oz chickpeas, drained & rinsed
  • 3 tablespoon tahini
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 –3 cloves garlic minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 –4 tablespoon cold water to thin as needed
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the king trumpet mushrooms

  • Trim the ends of the mushroom stems and give them a quick wipe. Slice them lengthwise, then use a knife to gently score each side in a shallow crisscross pattern. This helps the mushrooms absorb seasoning and crisp beautifully.

Season and oil the mushrooms & green beans

  • In a bowl, toss the mushrooms with olive oil, sea salt, smoked paprika, and a touch of black pepper. Make sure the seasoning gets into the scored cuts for maximum flavor.

Broil or roast the mushrooms & green beans until browned

  • Place the mushrooms on a baking sheet and broil on high until the edges begin to caramelize and turn golden brown. Flip once halfway through so both sides achieve that perfect crisp.

Make the lemon-garlic hummus

  • In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, garlic, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, cumin, and a splash of water. Blend until silky smooth. Adjust seasoning with more lemon, salt, or garlic as desired.

Plate and serve

  • Spread a generous swoop of hummus on each plate. Top with crispy king trumpet mushrooms and roasted green beans. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil, lemon zest, smoked paprika, or fresh herbs.
